Through the information expressed in the text "humor texts”, we have a vague notion about the characteristics that demarcate this modality of language that is focused on humor. Well, such information led us to the knowledge of the anecdote, which also makes up the various examples of texts considered. humorous.
Well, taking advantage of our precious meeting, we will further expand our knowledge about O cartoon and the cartoon. Now, for those who think that these are communicative situations that are far from our reality, they are completely wrong, because on the contrary, they represent those we are used to living with on a daily basis, that is, we can find them in newspapers, magazines, textbooks, between others. In this way, let's get to know, first, about the points that we consider as the most relevant when it comes to cartoons:
O cartoon is characterized by a graphic anecdote in which we can visualize the presence of verbal language associate to non-verbal. Their approaches concern situations related to human behavior, but they are not situated in time, that is why they are called timeless and universal, that is, they do not refer to a personality in specific. Aware of this, it is important to understand that the name cartoon it came from an event that took place in London in 1841. This event concerns the fact that Prince Albert, in order to decorate the Palace of Westminster, promoted a competition of drawings made on large cards (cartoons in English), which would be glued to the walls. Thus, in an attempt to satirize, the magazine punch, considered at the time the first comedy magazine in the world, it decided to publish its own cartoons. So let's look at an example:
Glasbergen Cartoon - American Cartoonist and Humorous Illustrator
We found that the cartoon in reference points to the fact that people are so used to social networks that even an unborn baby already has more friends on the Facebook than the parents themselves, revealing a criticism of this behavior so recurrent.
The cartoon, somewhat different from the cartoon, satirizes specific situations, situated in time and space, which is why he finds himself always pointing to a character in public life in general, sometimes an artist, sometimes a politician, anyway. When it comes to language, it also usually associates verbal and non-verbal language. Another aspect that we must pay attention to is the fact that the cartoon, expressed in French, has the meaning of "charge", fully adhering to the cartoonist's intention, that is, that he actually acts critically in a situation of social order and politics. How about then check out an example?
Charge by Júlio Costa Neto – journalist and designer
By sticking to the cartoon in question, we are convinced that the author points to the tendency that people bring with them that one of the ways to win money is entering politics, above all because of dishonesty, because of the corruption that manifests itself in this environment, which is why the character responded to the teacher thus.
